I like long beans. It's cheap, versatile, and keeps for a good while. Plus, it's fun to use them in a mock swordfight. Anyway, when you're done using your long bean to vanquish your foe, just slice it up, beat it with some eggs have yourself a nice long bean omeletle. â €


Long bean omelette is a common, comfort dish in Chinese households that most grannies have cooked and it can also come in the form of scrambled eggs. The most basic ingredients are eggs and long beans.


For this recipe, your sliced long beans should be as thin as possible and not in chunk form. That way, they can be cooked easily, and soft enough to blend well with the omelette.

Crisp and golden brown!

Stir frying!

Almost done!
